For my card, I used one of the little gals from the Christmas Postie.
You know how sometimes you have a card which seems like it was just never meand to be? That's what happened with this and for the life of me, I don't know why it was such a struggle but by the time I got it finished and saw the Frantage spots on the cat, I just gave up. You can add only so many snowflakes and sentiments to cover up mistakes and I didn't think the kitten would look great with a big snowflake plastered over his face! It took me three days to get this card done... I couldn't seem to concentrate and then when the mess-ups started to happen, my interest really started to falter. If it hadn't been coloured, it would have hit the garage. So funny because now when I look at it, I can't remember all the boo-boos except for the big brown streak under the sentiment but it's covered nicely.

One of my favourite ADU stamps my friend, brought to life so beautifully. Love the textures you created and the colour-way is so pretty. Fabulous work! xxx
LOVE this one Marilyn, I was only looking through my folder last night and decided this is the one I use next....fab inspiration for me too.xxxx
Marilyn I honestly thought the placement of the Frantage was deliberate, as falling snow :-). This is a really lovely card, well worth the struggle. I have been told on various occasions that a 'boo boo' is a chance to embellish.
